Neighbor caught an 80 lb. beaver a few years ago and has the hide hopped and hanging up in his living room. Takes up most of the wall!
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Makes you wonder how big the beavers were when the old time trappers explored the west. One of the earliest Hudson Bay brigades reported catching several 100 lb beaver in Oregon's Ochoco mountain range in northeastern Oregon. For me personally (with over 8000 beaver to my credit) 74 lbs is the biggest I've caught. 80 lbs is a brute.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I've never broken the 80 lb mark. 72 lbs was my biggest. Would love to catch and 80, but would dread lugging it out if it was where the 4 wheeler won't go
